Mendocino County firefighters continue training

Nico Carrillo, volunteer for the Ukiah Fire Department, and Rachel Parmenter, volunteer and EMT, train on the fire hoses. Volunteers from Mendocino County trained at the pear sheds on Taylor Drive Saturday afternoon. The course being covered was "Hoses, Nozzles and Appliances." Firefighters learned how to handle a variety of hoses and nozzles, learned how to connect to a fire hydrant as well as general safety practices one would have to execute while on scene at a fire.
